Having crypto is great. Using it for everyday purchases is even better.
Bitnovo’s Store lets you buy gift cards with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for your favourite brands, from groceries to a weekend getaway, plus gaming, cosmetics, or fuel.
How to buy a gift card from Bitnovo Wallet?
If you’ve never bought a gift card with crypto before, the first time you do it you’ll be surprised by how simple it is. From opening the Store to having the code in the app, the process is straightforward and hassle-free. Here’s how it works:
- Go to the Store: From the Bitnovo Wallet home screen, tap “Store” in the bottom menu.
- Choose the gift card you want: In the Store, you can browse by category or use the search bar to find the brand you’re looking for.
- Select the amount: Pick the gift card value from the available denominations.
- Choose the cryptocurrency you’ll pay with: Select the asset you want to use. If it’s available on multiple networks, you can also choose which one to use at this step.
- Choose the wallet you want to pay with: if you pick Bitnovo Wallet, the payment will be instant. If you select an external wallet, you’ll see a QR code and the address to send the cryptocurrency.
-
Confirm the payment: Review the summary with the brand, amount, and selected network, then confirm. The gift card code will be available in the app under “My purchases”.
What is Bitnovo’s marketplace?
Bitnovo’s Store is the catalogue built into the wallet where you can use your crypto to pay with real, everyday brands. Beyond the brands available, there are three benefits worth knowing before you make your first purchase:
- Payment freedom: you can pay with funds from your own Bitnovo Wallet or send the payment from any external wallet or exchange.
- Instant delivery: once the transaction is confirmed, your gift card code appears in the app, ready to use.
- Cashback: many cards in the catalogue include a cashback percentage that is credited to your Bitnovo account after purchase. When you select a card with cashback, you’ll see the exact percentage you’ll get back. Once the purchase is completed, that amount is added to your balance so you can use it for future transactions.
Categories available in the marketplace
Bitnovo’s Store catalogue covers pretty much every everyday category. From groceries and fuel to travel, leisure, or tech, here are all the available options, organised by category.
Travel
For travel, we offer deals with Iberia, Renfe and Flixbus to help you get around Europe by plane, train, or coach. These three options cover almost any kind of trip, whether long-distance or short journeys. Iberia covers flights to destinations worldwide and its gift card is available across Europe. Renfe is for train journeys and can be purchased in Spain and France. Finally, Flixbus connects hundreds of European cities by coach, and its gift card can be purchased from Spain.
Supermarkets
Carrefour is one of the world’s leading hypermarket chains thanks to its huge range across groceries, electronics, and clothing. Its gift cards can be purchased for use in Spain, Italy, and France.

If you’re looking to do something different, Smartbox offers gift boxes for getaways, spa days, gourmet dinners, and adventure experiences, with one of the highest cashback rates in the catalogue. Another option is Atrápalo, which complements the offering with hotels, flights, shows, and restaurants — ideal for planning anything from a weekend break to a full holiday. And if you prefer a simple evening plan, you’ll also find Cinesa to enjoy a classic trip to the cinema by paying for your ticket directly with crypto. These are available in Spain.

Available cryptocurrencies and networks
In the Store, you can pay with a wide selection of cryptocurrencies. Some assets are available on multiple networks, giving you the flexibility to choose the one that best suits your needs or current fees.
Frequently asked questions
Does the code arrive instantly? In most cases, yes. After you complete the payment, the code is delivered directly in the app — no waiting and no extra steps. The exact timing can vary by brand, but the process is generally immediate.
Where can I find the code after buying? The code is saved in the app under My purchases. You can access it at any time, so you don’t have to redeem it right away if you don’t need it yet.
How do I redeem the gift card? Redemption depends on each brand. In general, you enter the code on the relevant platform or store during checkout or in your account area. Each card includes its own redemption instructions with the specific steps to follow.
The crypto you’ve been stacking for a while can be used today. You don’t have to wait for the market to go up or sell it first to be able to spend it. Bitnovo’s Store has the catalogue, the brands, and the cashback. And now that you know how it works, using it is as simple as choosing a gift card and paying.
